Grupo Zoilo Ríos

What Grupo Zoilo Ríos does

Grupo Zoilo Ríos, legally ZOILO RÍOS, S.A. (CIF A50047505), is a privately held Spanish company headquartered at Autovía de Logroño km 0.3, 50011 Zaragoza, founded in 1930 and operating a network of more than 20 service stations across the Aragon region, with limited extension into Navarra (Tarazona). 18 stations operate under the Repsol brand and 2 under the Cepsa brand, distributing branded fuels (Neotech, Star, Óptima), LPG/autogas, and AdBlue, plus non-fuel services that include EV chargers, hydrogen refueling, CNG/LNG (Gasinera), car wash (Istobal), a Midas quick-repair franchise workshop, monitored dangerous-goods truck parking, motorhome/caravan parking, and embedded Carrefour Express convenience stores. The revenue model is primarily transactional: per-liter fuel margin via brand franchise arrangements, per-transaction fees on automotive services, and home-delivery margin on automotive diesel, agricultural diesel (Type B), heating diesel (Type C), LPG cylinders, AdBlue, and EN PLUS A1 biomass pellets across the Zaragoza/Aragon catchments. Customer segments span three personas (individual car owners, professional drivers/transport operators, and the agricultural sector), with no enterprise-anchor or named-account model and no disclosed subscription or contract layer. The 22 direct employee count (per the firm's headcount record) suggests most station-level labor is supplied through franchise or third-party arrangements, with Grupo Zoilo Ríos S.A. acting as the parent operator and regional hub. Beyond fuel retail, the company has positioned itself for the Spanish energy transition by co-developing the ECOASIS EV-charging project with CIRCUTOR and CIRCE (announced 2020, consolidated 2025), pioneering BioDiesel supply in Zaragoza at El Portazgo (2017), and receiving EU FEDER Aragon 2021-2027 PAIP industrial-innovation aid in 2025 for industrial design and R&D+i investment.
